There are very few times when leasing a vehicle makes any sense. Leasing a vehicle to use for recreational towing and off roading is at the top of the list for no sense whatsoever. The OP should find a nice used vehicle and then adapt it for towing.
Taking a new vehicle and adapting it for towing costs thousands of dollars, and then removing the equipment will cost that same amount. It will equate to about $100 a month over a 36 month lease. That will be on top of the initial payment at the beginning of the lease and the monthly lease payment.
Using the OP's best lease offer of $4000 initial payment equals $111 per month, the monthly lease payment of $229 is now $340 per month. Add the $100 monthly for adding and removing towing equipment, you are now at $440 a month. At the end of his 36 month lease, he will have thrown $15840 away!
